  • the stand 110 has a central opening 120 that is closed at one end by a first (transparent) closing plate 130 and at the other end by the separating platen 118 ; the flexible transparent plate 150 is located in the central opening 120 , between the first closing plate 130 and the separating platen 118 .
  • Two walls integrated into the stand 110 allow the flexible plate 150 to be guided in such a way as to prevent any rotation of the flexible plate 150 around the optical axis X.
  • the stand 110 has a ridge 115 that lies on the periphery of the central opening 120 and that is inscribed in a cylindrical surface the axis of which is perpendicular and secant to the optical axis X.
  • the stand 110 for example comprises to this end a wall 112 that encircles the central opening 120 and the free end edge of which defines the aforementioned ridge 115 .
  • the function of the ridge 115 is to create a stop that serves as a starting point for the curvature of the flexible plate 150 (by bending), as explained below.
  • the cylindrical shape of the ridge 150 i.e. the cylindrical surface in which the ridge 115 is inscribed
  • the first lens 100 also comprises a first control part 160 that is securely fastened to the flexible plate 150 .
  • the first control part 160 here takes the form of an annular control platen encircling the central opening 120 and including, level with each of two zones that are 180° opposite, an external thread.
  • the first control part 160 is mounted in the stand 110 so as to be guided in translation along the optical axis X.
  • the first lens 100 also comprises a first elastic membrane 170 of cylindrical shape and connecting the stand 110 and the first control part 160 .
  • the flexible plate 150 , the first control part 160 , the first elastic membrane 170 , the intermediate platen 118 and the stand 110 form a chamber filled with a liquid 190 .
  • this liquid 190 is identical to that used in document U.S. Pat. No. 8,000,022, namely silicone oil (for example of the Rhodrosil oil 47 type).
  • the stand 110 includes apertures 195 for passage of fluid in the aforementioned wall 112 in order to facilitate the passage of the liquid between the various portions of the chamber.
  • the first elastic membrane 170 is designed to deform (by stretching in particular) in order to compensate for variations in the volume of the chamber filled with the liquid 190 caused by the bending of the flexible plate 150 , as described below. As is clearly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the first elastic membrane 170 is located on the periphery of the stand 110 and therefore plays no optical role.
  • the cylindrical first lens 100 lastly comprises a first control ring 180 , which may be moved only rotationally through a given angle around the optical axis X.
  • the first control ring 180 includes an internal thread (here of square cross section) centered on the optical axis X and that engages with the external thread of the first control part 160 .
  • the first control ring 180 also has a plurality of teeth 185 right round its periphery so as to form a toothed wheel and to thus be able to be driven to rotate by a first driving system (not shown), for example a motor the output axle of which comprises a worm screw that interacts with the teeth 185 of the first control ring 180 .
  • a first driving system for example a motor the output axle of which comprises a worm screw that interacts with the teeth 185 of the first control ring 180 .
  • the first control part 160 is considered to be in its highest position (considering the orientation in FIG. 2 ) i.e. the closest to the first closing plate 130 , as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 . As may be seen in these figures, in this position of the first control part 160 , the flexible plate 150 does not make contact with the ridge 115 .
  • the first control part 160 When the first control ring 180 is rotated (for example by means of the aforementioned first driving system), the first control part 160 begins to be translated (downward in FIG. 2 ) by way of the bolt/nut system, through a few degrees, until the flexible plate 150 makes contact with the cylindrical ridge 115 that is securely fastened to the stand 110 (this contact occurring first at the top 116 of the ridge 115 in FIG. 2 , i.e. in the plane containing the optical axis X and the axis of the cylindrical surface containing the ridge 115 ).
  • the assembly formed from the first control part 160 and the flexible plate 150 continues its translation (downward in FIG. 2 , i.e. away from the first closing plate 130 ) so that the flexible plate 150 begins to gradually bend, with a (bend) radius value directly related to the angle of rotation of the first control ring 180 .
  • the flexible plate 150 will preferentially deform to a cylindrical shape, this allowing the sought-after cylindrical correction to be obtained, which has a variable power depending on the value of the aforementioned bending radius.
  • the axis of this cylindrical correction corresponds to the axis of this cylindrical surface (i.e. to an axis that is fixed with respect to the stand 110 and perpendicular to the optical axis X).
  • the flexible plate 150 in general also undergoes a second deformation of greater or lesser magnitude depending in particular on its anisotropy, its bending stiffness and on the pressure increase associated with the deformation of the first elastic membrane 170 .
  • the flexible plate 150 in general does not have a purely cylindrical shape, but a toric shape.
  • the additional spherical component will then possibly optionally be compensated for by other optical means, here via action on the second lens 200 described below.
  • the volume within the chamber filled with the liquid 190 remains constant.
  • the pressure increase generated by the deformation of the flexible plate 150 causes the first elastic membrane 170 to deform so as to absorb the transfer of liquid 190 originating from the useful zone.
  • this slight pressure (applied by the flexible plate 150 ) allows the motion to be made reversible, while ensuring play is removed from the bolt/nut system.
  • the cylindrical power of the first lens 100 is made to vary as explained above (the axis of the cylindrical correction in contrast being fixed with respect to the stand 110 as explained above).
  • the second lens 200 comprises a support having a central opening 220 , a second elastic membrane 250 received in the central opening 220 , a second control part 260 that is securely fastened to the second elastic membrane 250 , and a second control ring 280 .
  • the support of the second lens 200 is here securely fastened to the stand 110 of the first lens 110 and for example forms a single part therewith.
  • the second control part 260 is mounted so as to be guided translationally in the support, here by means of three guiding columns.
  • the second control ring 280 may be moved only rotationally about the optical axis X and allows, during its rotational motions, the second control part 260 to be moved translationally along the optical axis X by means of a bolt/nut system (for example formed by an internal thread of the second control ring 280 that interacts with an external thread of the second control part 260 ).
  • the second elastic membrane 250 , the second control part 260 , the separating platen 118 and the support form a liquid-filled chamber such that the translational motion of the second control part 260 causes an elastic deformation (with stretching) of the second elastic membrane 250 , which thus adopts an essentially spherical shape, with a radius of curvature dependent on the position of the second control part 260 .
  • the second control ring 280 right round its periphery has a plurality of teeth 285 so as to form a toothed wheel and to thus be able to be driven to rotate by a second driving system (not shown), for example a motor the output axle of which comprises a worm screw that interacts with the teeth 285 of the second control ring 280 .
  • a second driving system for example a motor the output axle of which comprises a worm screw that interacts with the teeth 285 of the second control ring 280 .
  • the spherical power of the second lens 200 is made to vary as explained above.
  • the aforementioned optical assembly may be mounted so as to be able to rotate about the optical axis X with respect to a fixed frame of reference (in particular with respect to the eye of the patient in front of whom the optical assembly is placed in the context of an examination of subjective refraction).
